For a moment, the whole world went still. In that split second, my eyes found the source of my unease. A bright blue gaze stared back at me from the head of the table, beneath a black mask. I knew, without a shadow of doubt, that I would recognize those eyes anywhere. There they were, eyes that had haunted my dreams almost every night since we met. He should not be here, I thought numbly. There was no time to process what it meant. No time to form a plan. The moment was over. The room erupted into chaos. ~*~ Giules has always loved to be in control and, as crown princess, she's used to getting her way. But when a sudden onslaught of attacks against the human residents of her kingdom arises and, at the same time, she discovers her mother is pregnant, threatening her claim to the throne, she feels that control slipping through her fingers. She meets Angelo, a mysterious man with a dark past, with whom her fate is irrevocably twined. She must choose between trusting Angelo, despite his shady past, or fighting an uphill battle alone, with enemies on all sides. Both options are bound to be bloody. *Started: 4/18/20
